Greenside Plumbing & Construction

Back in February I had rented a VRBO in Tahoe Donner to enjoy with friends and family. It was a lovely home, but the upstairs main toilet was an antique, and no match for two teenage boys. On Saturday morning, the darn thing backed up and sent up a rushing cascade of water faster than the Truckee River after an El Nino winter. The property owner was completely unhelpful and showed zero interest in the problem. Needless to say, this put a little dent on my winter Tahoe dream vacation.
Thanks to Unilocal,and John Greenside, this disaster was quickly averted. I’m used to using a snake to unclog the toilet (ahem, teenage boys), but the one I purchased at the local Ace wasn’t sufficient for this relic of a commode. John answered the call on a Saturday, came out within a couple of hours, brought out a plumbing python snake that dwarfed my store bought garter snake, and fixed the problem. At an exceptionally reasonable price.
I was obviously bummed at the property owner’s response, and John went to bat for me, pointing out the toilet really needed to be replaced. He offered to speak with the owner and did so. Eventually, the owner agreed to split the cost with me.
John, you saved the day. Thank you so much. So glad to support honest tradespeople in Truckee!

We love John. He is our go to guy when it comes anything plumbing. Despite his busy schedule, he can fit us in when an emergency pops up, and gets the job done quickly and done well, every time. We’ve worked with him for over 34 years! We rely on him, and he always comes through for us. He answers our questions expertly. He’s remodeled bathrooms, added bathrooms, done complete plumbing jobs, and all of our clients I refer his way love the work her does. He’s honest, has integrity, and always shows up when you need him, even if it’s spur of the moment.

Called John from a reference from our realtor and boy is he a number I will keep on hand. We had some funny acting toilets and a slow draining shower. He came as promised and even returned later in the day to continue the job with parts he had to pick up. He also gave us GREAT advice for closing up our cabin for the winter to avoid frozen pipes and said if we needed anything, give him a call. WOW, that is incredible service and ever so nice. I will definitely call on John again if needed.
